An investigation is underway after a 48-year-old Toronto police officer died in Mississauga, Ontario.

Constable Andrew Hong had taken a lunch break during a joint training exercise yesterday when he was shot at close range.

Hong was a 22-year veteran of the force.

A second person was also hurt in the incident.

Police say a suspect was shot and pronounced dead in a Hamilton Cemetary.

The suspect is also believed to be responsible for another shooting incident where another person is dead and two others injured.

It is with profound sadness that I share the loss of Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong in a tragic incident today. His family will always have the full support of the Toronto Police Service. My statement is below. #HeroesInLife pic.twitter.com/X6OhvhO4K4
